THE EUROPEAN HELICOPTER SAFETY TEAM (EHEST): 2008/2009 ACHIEVEMENTS

摘要

This paper presents the analysis of a sub-set of 186 helicopter accidents that occurred between 2000 and 2005 in Europe. This analysis was performed by the European Helicopter Safety Analysis Team (EHSAT) of the European Helicopter Safety Team (EHEST). The EHEST aims to reduce the rate of helicopter accidents by 80% by 2016, an ambitious objective stated by the International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST) of which EHEST is the European component. In order to achieve this objective, the European strategy and action plans will be developed by the European Helicopter Safety Implementation Team (EHSIT) which was launched in February 2009.
